Weighing platforms such as the MiNexx® 3000 are set up on benches or work surfaces and are used wherever small quantities need to be weighed with high accuracy. Whether in the factory floor production area or in the laboratory, the MiNexx® 3000 can be used to carry out basic weighing, checkweighing and completeness checks or to perform dosing, classifying, sorting and counting processes with high precision. Minebea Intec has been manufacturing high-quality weighing solutions for more than 150 years and always incorporates valuable feedback from the market into its product innovations. This is also the case with the
weighing platform MiNexx® 3000.

Weighing platform MiNexx® 3000: What is special about this bench scale?

The MiNexx® 3000 weighing platform is characterised by its V-shaped substructure, which not only enables optimum force distribution but also ensures excellent protection of the high-precision load cell. The easy-to-clean design makes it ideal for demanding production environments, while its high configurability enables customised adaptation to various industrial applications. For example, resolutions from 15,000d up to 75,000d or up to 6,000e and even 3×3,000e can be selected depending on requirements. In addition, a readability of 0.05g to 100g steps is possible and it can be varied between different surface treatments and load ranges from 1.5kg to 300kg are available. The robust design also enables use in the potentially explosive zone 2/22 – zone 1/21 is to follow in the near future.

Customer wishes fulfilled – maximum precision at a fair price

The MiNexx® 3000 weighing platform both guarantees maximum precision and accuracy and also fulfils all relevant industry standards such as ISO 14001 and DIN EN ISO 9001 and certifications such as OIML, RoHS, Reach and ATEX. Quality managers can therefore rely on MiNexx® 3000 to ensure high quality results in industrial processes while meeting all necessary compliance requirements.

MiNexx® 3000 not only sets new standards in terms of quality, but also in terms of cost efficiency. Purchasing managers can rely on MiNexx® 3000 to fulfil their budget requirements. “During development, we also focussed on ease of maintenance and durability,” says Eren Sagdas. “With its seamless integration capability into existing production and OEM systems, MiNexx® 3000 also increases production efficiency.” The integration of MiNexx® 3000 into existing production processes promotes a smooth and coherent production chain.

High-precision weighing indicators for weighing platforms

In order to utilise the weight values determined by the bench scales efficiently in the production processes, the signals must be recorded and forwarded to the production control system. Minebea Intec offers a broad portfolio of weighing indicators for bench and floor scales for this purpose. Whether customers are looking for a terminal for simple weighing tasks or for multiple applications such as piece counting, filling or checkweighing, all weighing indicators are characterised by user-friendly operation and a robust design. All terminals can be flexibly positioned near the scale or mounted on the wall or on a stand. Minebea Intec offers sophisticated software products such as SPC@Enterprise and ProRecipe XT for the reliable integration of bench scales into production lines.

Weighing and inspection technologies including accessories: everything from a single source from Minebea Intec
